MARY A. JACK, OF BRACEVILLE, ILLINOIS.

WASHING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,146, dated February 16, 1892.

Application filed May 20, 1891.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY A. JACK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Braceville, in the county of Grundy and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washing-Machines; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section. Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of cover, and Fig. 5 is a detail view of cover-fastener.

This invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in Washingmachines; and it consists of the novel construction thereof, as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating outer vessel, preferably of cylindrical form, and having at its central longitudinal portion at diam etrically-opposite points the axle-studs a a, which have bearings in the arms I) of suitable supports 13, between which the yessel is normally supported in vertical position, and between which arms it is also adapted to be rotated.

Inside the outer vessel is the cylindrical barrel 0, the inner surface of which, both on the side wall and'bottom portion, is corrugated, in the manner shown.

D is the dasheror scrubber, which may have two or four wings (Z, as shown, according to the character of the clothes it is desired to wash. These scrubbing-boards may consist of an inner board having a covering of corrugated zinc on both sides. At the lower end of the scrubber is a sleeve f, which engages a stud f in the bottom of the barrel and held in its place.

The barrel projects slightly above the upper edge of the outer vessel or jacket and is provided with a cover G, the under surface of which also has a corrugated metal lining, at the center of which is a stud g, which enprojections m.

. Serialll'o- 393,414. (ModeL) gages a socket or stem 9 on the scrubber. A suitable annular packing-ring H is provided for the edge of the cover to form awater-tight joint with the barrel. If the cover is formed of wood, a band h of metal may be provlded to prevent Warping.

On the upper edge of the barrel are formed the two pairs of perforated lugs or ears 7.: 7c, and in each pair are inserted the ends of a bail or wire K.

The top portion of the cover has secured thereto a rod or bolt L, on which loosely turns a circular plate or disk L. At opposite points this disk is cut or slotted, as shown at Z Z, the metal forming the opposite edges of the slotbeing bent oppositely upwardly and downwardly. The disk also has the handle The bails or Wire K are bent or curved slightly, so that when they are turned over onto the cover they willbear upon it and hold it securely in place. The disk or plate is then turned until the recesses Z Z engage the wires, bringing the disks to bear thereon and securely locking them in position.

A hook p on the frame is arranged to engage an eye p to hold the vessel or barrel stationary while putting in or removing the clothes. A plug P is also provided to draw off the water. A crank Ris connected to one of theaxle-studs a, by means of which the washer is operated. .IVhile revolving the barrel, the clothes therein will continually change their position, the water circulating freely through them and being brought in contact wit-h the corrugated surfaces they will be quickly and thoroughly cleansed.

Having described this invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The washing-machine comprising the rotary vessel or barrel, an inner vessel secured in said barrel, having a continuously-corrugated inner surface, the scrubber comprising the corrugated boards having a hearing at their upper and lower ends, the cover having a corrugated lining, the packing-ring, and the fastening device, substantially as specified.

2. The washing-machine comprising the outer vessel, the barrel secured thereinand having continuousIy-corrugated inner surnionsforrned thereon and engaging-bearings faces, one end of said barrel being removable in said frame, substantially as specified. 1c and provided with a suitable packing, the Intestimony whereof Iaffix my signature in fastening for said cover, and the scrubber presence of two witnesses.

5 having the corrugated surfaces and provided MARY A. JACK.

with bearings at its upper and lower end, in Vitnesses: combination with a frame in which said ves- E. D. SCOTT, sel is revolubly supported by means of trun- WM. PHILLIPS.
